Scott Carelli returns as the Sofa Dogs podcast continues its month-long tribute to classic Horror movies, in preparation for Halloween. In this episode, we follow up our previous commentary for The Evil Dead, with the "splatstick" sequel, Evil Dead 2. Bruce Campbell reprises his role as Ash, perpetually tormented by demonic spirits at a remote cabin in the woods.

Please join Scott and I as we discuss Sam Raimi's love for a certain Oldsmobile, stop-motion animation, comically large jewelry and a famous soft drink that may be the key to this film's success. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the movie on your DVD.

The new release of Dollhouse: Season 2 on Blu-ray just arrived in the mail, so I decided to open it on camera and share with other Whedon fans my collection of his past works.

Will Ritchie returns to the show as Sofa Dogs continues its month-long tribute to Horror films of the past. This week, we take a look at Tom Holland's 1985, vampire classic, Fright Night. Charlie Brewster is a typical American teenager. He loves his Mom, he studies hard in school, he gets in arguments with his girlfriend about sex and oh yeah, it seems a vampire is living next door to him! As young girls continue to go missing, only to turn up dead later, Charlie enlists the help of his favorite Horror icon, Peter Vincent. Together, they must stop the vampire and rescue Charlie's friends from eternal damnation.

Please join Will and I as we discuss Roddy McDowall, the vampire genre and mythology, the effects of Richard Edlund and the upcoming remake of Fright Night. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the movie on your DVD.

As the podcast continues this month-long tribute to Halloween and the Horror genre, Scott Carelli joins in on a commentary for Sam Raimi's feature directorial debut, The Evil Dead. In it, a group of college friends drive out to a remote cabin in the woods. Hoping to relax and enjoy some good times, they soon uncover an ancient book and an ominous tape recording that unwittingly unleashes some dark and deadly spirits. Demonic possessions and mutilating of flesh is the order of the day for most of the running time. Boasting inventive effects and camera techniques, it's the American classic that would ignite the careers of Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi, forever changing the landscape of low budget, independent Horror cinema.

Please join Scott and I as we talk about building tension, sound editing, the charm of Campbell, the Criterion Company and the debates of taste and restraint in storytelling. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the movie on your DVD.

For the entire month of October, the Sofa Dogs podcast will be paying tribute to some beloved Horror films! Scott Carelli joins the show to kick things off with the classic from John Landis, An American Werewolf in London. Two buddies are backpacking through the England countryside, when they're attacked by a wild animal and one of the friends is brutally murdered. The lone survivor, David wakes up in a London hospital to visions of his dead friend urging him to kill himself, or he will become a werewolf!

Please join Scott and I as we discuss the werewolf genre, John Landis and the fascinating marriage between Horror and Comedy. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the movie on your DVD.
